Connexin43 hemichannel block inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation in a human retinal explant model of diabetic retinopathy

Henry H. Louie et al.

Summary: Recent research has shown that connexin43 hemichannel blockers can inhibit activation of the inflammasome pathway in diabetic retinopathy. The development of an ex vivo human retinal organotypic culture model provides a more accurate representation of the inflammatory process in diabetic retinopathy, supporting the potential use of connexin43 hemichannel blockers as new therapies for the disease.

Danegaptide Prevents TGFβ1-Induced Damage in Human Proximal Tubule Epithelial Cells of the Kidney

Paul E. Squires et al.

Summary: Danegaptide has been shown to block hemichannel-mediated changes in protein expression and function in tubular epithelial kidney cells, protecting against tubular injury. It also inhibits TGF beta 1-induced changes in the expression and secretion of key adipokines, cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and interleukins, indicating its potential in the future treatment of CKD.

Carboxyfluorescein Dye Uptake to Measure Connexin-mediated Hemichannel Activity in Cultured Cells

Joe A. Potter et al.

Summary: Connexins are membrane-bound proteins that form hexameric hemichannels, facilitating cell-to-cell communication. Undocked hemichannels have low open probability and mainly open in response to injury, allowing release of small molecules. Carboxyfluorescein dye uptake measures hemichannel activity effectively and efficiently in vitro.

Connexin therapeutics: blocking connexin hemichannel pores is distinct from blocking pannexin channels or gap junctions

Monica L. Acosta et al.

Summary: Compounds that block the function of connexin and pannexin protein channels have shown potential as valuable therapeutics for diseases, but the current literature on their molecular effects on tissues is inconclusive. This review discusses the distinct physiological and pathological implications of blocking different channel types, as well as the contribution of connexins and pannexins to excessive ATP release linked to disease onset and progression.
